This question refers to projectile weapons. I've read that photo torpedos do high sustained damaged, whereas quantum torpedos do medium burst damage,.. what's the diff? Thx.

    photon torps do less damage but fire faster.

    Quantum do more damage but fire slower.

    so,

    if both are fired at the same time, and fired as fast as possible, Q torps do more damage right out of the gate, but that second phonton torp will come in and hit the target faster then the second Q torp so over time Photon torps add up to more after a couple shots.

    Thank you. I wish there was a list of DPS for all projectile and beam items.
